EA Sports has announced the release date for College Football 25, set to launch on July 19th, with pre-order offers available to users starting on July 16th. Those who pre-order will receive three days of early access to the game. Traditional pre-orders come with three Ultimate Team incentives, including the Alma Mater pack with player items representing every FBS school, a Cover Athlete pack featuring three player options, and a Bring Glory Home uniform item for customization.
For users interested in both College Football 25 and Madden 25, the EA Sports MVP Bundle offers pre-order incentives for both games’ Ultimate Team features. In addition to exclusive College Football 25 incentives, MVP Bundle users will also receive 4600 college football points and a Heisman Hopeful player item, allowing them to choose from five players likely to be Heisman candidates in the upcoming season. Early access for Madden 25, set to be released on August 19th, will begin on August 16th for users who purchase the MVP Bundle.
The pre-order offers for Madden 25 include 4500 Madden points, an AKA player item, a cover athlete player item, two strategy items, an elite player item, specific Ultimate Team challenges during early access, Superstar Drip Gear, and Legendary XP boost. Many of these incentives are geared towards Ultimate Team, but it remains to be seen if there will be any gameplay-related tie-ins between College Football 25 and Madden 25, such as the ability to transfer Ultimate Team cards from one game to the other or the return of the export/import draft class feature.
As the full reveal for College Football 25 is scheduled for May 17th, fans are eagerly anticipating answers to their questions about the game. It is hoped that the reveal will shed light on any remaining uncertainties and provide a comprehensive look at the features and gameplay of the upcoming college football title. The potential for seasonal relevancy and spotlight on current college stars through the Heisman Hopeful player item adds excitement and anticipation for the game’s release.
With the connection between College Football 25 and Madden 25 established through the EA Sports MVP Bundle, users have the opportunity to enjoy pre-order incentives for both games, leading to increased excitement and anticipation for the upcoming releases.
